Not very rare, used to be loads of them SH in the UK. I think they also did a clip on meter for that model, again not rare.Just to let everyone know, I had a better look and there was indeed Asahi Pentax S but also 1a so it's another model make later

If solely for use on digital go for the DA. It is a bit smaller, a fifth lighter, about the same speed and closest focusing. It has a very good reputation for IQ and a bargain at that price. If you want to swap between film and digital you will have to go for the FA.
Cheers, Kris.

I'll be too busy getting ready to leave the country for almost a month! I hope it doesn't mess up my trip to London.

I just shade the viewfinder with my hand. I find sliding that little thingy on and off too much of a pain. Never a problem with the LX of course...

Your camera basically had the Pentax version of the Microsoft "blue screen of death". A hard reboot is sometimes necessary with computer equipment of all sorts, and your K20D is essentially a mini computer with a very specialised program!
Shim's idea of quitting and restarting very 30 shots or so might be a good way to go. Who knows how efficient RA's memory handling is?

I have an eight gig card and (a) it has not failed yet (b) I have only filled it once and (c) it has made me terribly lazy about remembering to delete files off the card when I have downloaded them.
When I am travelling and cannot easily back up the files on my laptop I like to leave them on the card too in case of disaster. Once I get home I copy everything to a second external hard disk and wipe the card.
